When I was 14 years old I spent the summer visiting and touring Venezuela and I also fished the Rio Orionoco. There I caught a 24"+ Pleco (I didn't know it was a Pleco at the time). It was a dinosaur! It had scales along its' back and sides just like a dinosaur. My uncle took the fish and knocked on the first hut/shack and offered the fish to the old woman in black and told her that we could all partake of it if she would cook it. I couldn't bring myself to accept that invitation and now will never know what a pleco really tastes like!

Its super time now so I won't tell you about the toothless old, old woman in the bannana plantation that was preparing corn patties by gumming corn kernels, shaping it in her gnarled hands and tossing it on hot rocks to cook.

I lost a lot of weight that summer in '65

parrot fish are yum-i-licious. Had some when I was in Tahiti...mmmmmmm

I add dandelions in my salad sometimes...well the greens...either I eat them or the beardies do, whatever. Radiccio...now that's a bad tasting lettuce..unless there's salt, olive oil and balsamic vinegar with fresh vine picked tomatoes...then it's not so bad

MMMM Now I'm hungry

Salads like that are great. I actually quite enjoy mixed greens. You'll get some bitter stuff, but you gotta suck it down and know you're eatin HEALTHY!

Too much 'o that dressing Rebecca talked about though - and your working backwards, haha.

and how. I've actually gotten quite used to a little bit of EVOO and some vinegar and a pinch of salt and pepper. Sometimes with some lemon juice...best salad dressing...EVER

I like meat, with a side of meat, all covered in a nice meat sauce.
